39 Iconic Portraits ft Johnson County High School Longhorns Cheerleading

Lenz Photography of Knoxville is proud to present 39 Iconic Portraits ft Johnson County High School Longhorns Cheerleading! This is our first year working with Johnson County High School sports, and these young athletes brought their A-game for a photo shoot inside the Longhorn’s unique dome-shaped gymnasium! Johnson County High School may be a smaller school located in Mountain City, however, their Cheerleading team displays an incredible amount of talent which usually comes from a school 3x the size! One thing we were impressed with was with the number of stunts these ladies performed. Not only were we impressed by their athletic abilities, but we would also like to applaud the Longhorn’s Cheer Team for the positive attitudes they brought to the photo shoot. Photographing the Longhorn’s Cheerleading Team was a great experience from beginning to end! A huge shout out goes to all the parents, players, and coaches for making this session of the Johnson County High School Cheer Team a success! Enjoy 39 Iconic Portraits ft Johnson County High School Longhorns Cheerleading! Knoxville Senior Portrait Photography, Knoxville Sports Photography

33 Iconic Wedding Portraits of Erica & Josh Rakestraw

Lenz Photography of Knoxville is proud to present wedding portraits of Erica & Josh Rakestraw. Erica and Josh have been together for over 10 years and recently got married on April 23rd, 2021. Ironically, our anniversary is on April 24th, and we happened to be celebrating in Jacksonville, FL for a few days. Although we weren’t there for the actual ceremony, Erica & Josh contacted us to photograph a few post-wedding portraits of them near their home in Tallahassee, FL. Photographing Erica & Josh was laid back and fun! We drove to a beautiful boat dock at the end of their street in order to catch the sunset on the water. Alexandra even got to hold an alligator that a fisherman had accidentally caught on his line. I guess it isn’t Florida if you don’t wrestle a few gators! After the shoot, we enjoyed a delicious crab boil while our dogs played and made new friends. Alexandra and Erica actually both went to Morristown West High School where they both played clarinet in the band together. Josh, Alexandra, and I also attended Carson Newman University together for a brief period of time where we were all involved in the music […]

25 Iconic Images of Blue Belt Shawna Awad at UFC Gym Atlanta

Lenz Photography, LLC of Knoxville is proud to present an Iconic Blue Belt session with Shawna Awad. If there are two things the Lenz's are passionate about, it's photography and jiu jitsu. So, working with someone to create Iconic Jiu Jitsu portraits is always a blast! Lucky for us, after photographing some teammates at Atlanta's IBJJF Summer Open, we were able to squeeze in a quick session with the "Kimura Queen", Shawna Awad, at the UFC Gym Perimeter. Shawna is a badass bombshell who has been training jiu jitsu since March of 2015. And in May of 2017, Shawna received her Blue Belt from the legendary Roberto Traven himself. What better way to celebrate such an Iconic achievement than with an Iconic photoshoot on the mats?!? Shawna absolutely killed it, but don't just take our word for it. Scroll through Shawna's set and see if it doesn't feel like she's about to pop out of the screen and take your arm home with her!

Heather and Cory’s Iconic Wedding in the Red Rocks

Lenz Photography, LLC of Knoxville is proud to present the Iconic Newlyweds, Heather and Cory Magor! Back in July of 2016, we were able to photograph some epic, outdoorsy family portraits with their dirt bikes and four wheelers. So, it was only appropriate that their wedding take place at a venue as Iconic as the Red Rocks in Colorado! It's not too often that we throw out this compliment, but as a couple with a special connection ourselves, we can vouch that Heather and Cory are true soulmates. We don't shoot many weddings on purpose, so when we do it's important that the couple we're working with have that rare connection. We truly enjoyed photographing and celebrating Heather and Cory's love for each other, and we hope that these portraits allow them to relive their special day many times over! This set features 23 Images of Heather and Cory's Iconic Wedding in the Red Rocks!

Dirt Bikes, Four Wheelers, and an Engagement Session in the Colorado Mountains

As many of you know, back in the month of July Lenz Photography traveled all the way to Vegas from Knoxville via I40! (Blog coming soon!) We were able to make stops in Memphis, Oklahoma City, & Albuquerque before arriving in Vegas for our Photography Convention. But the trip wasn't over there! On the way back, we were able to make a quick pitstop in the Colorado Mountains for an incredible engagement session with Heather, Cory, & Cylus! (Shoutout to Jason Vollario for hooking us up with some great new friends!) The Colorado mountains certainly made a breathtaking backdrop for Heather & Cory's Iconic Portraits. And you know we had to add something extreme, so the ATV's and Dirt Bikes were a must! With further adieu, check out these 26 Iconic Engagement Portraits of Heather, Cory, & Cylus in the Colorado Mountains!

14 Rockin Photos of the Reid Family

You know... We don't shoot a large number of family sessions per year. Mainly, our time is taken up by our signature "Iconic" sports portraits. But guess what? If you have an Iconic Family, you're in luck, because we can photograph that, too!!! Luckily, out of all of the photographers in or around the South East, we had the opportunity to photograph the Iconic Reid Family of Franklin, Tennessee. Needless to say, the pleasure was truly ours! With that introduction, get ready to Rock out with the Reid Family in these 14 Iconic Family Portraits.

Snow, snow, and more snow!

Holy crap! Global warming is gonna kill us all! Somebody please tag Al Gore in these images of Tommy, Holly, and Moses that we were able to take during our Midwest excursion. In case you have missed our million posts about it, we packed up and headed to Kansas for a little over a month. Tommy was crazy enough to drive all the way to Atlanta, pick us up, and travel down to Louisiana before winding up in Kansas. While in Louisiana, the three of us had a few sessions in the beautiful 70 degree weather. Then, we stopped in every city along the way for Tommy to take portraits of us as we passed through. Since Tommy did such an amazing job on our portraits, we wanted to photograph the Peterson clan as well. Luckily enough, they were able to get a “light dusting” of snow to play in for their family portraits. When I tell you that their photos turned out SICK!!… I really mean we all ended up sick from being outside! haha. Either way, we ended up with around 15 inches of snow and some pretty cool shots to say the least. We hope you enjoy […]

Travel – Self Portrait Under the Gateway Arch, St. Louis

Q.) What happens when a group of photographers band together and travel all over the United States for a month? A.) You get some pretty sweet self-portraits in some pretty Iconic places! Big shout out to TH Peterson Photography for helping us with this shot in St. Louis. Behind the Photo As we traveled through St. Louis, we knew we had to get a quick shot of the Gateway Arch, but “quick” is never the case when you’re on the road. Needless to say, there is currently a lot of construction going on in downtown St. Louis and that definitely didn’t help us stay on schedule. Tommy, Alexandra, and I probably drove around St. Louis — not to mention Illinois… Yeah… we ended up taking a few left turns at Albuquerque — However, we were finally able to find a spot to park near the Arch. That wasn’t the end of our struggle, though. Let’s just say St. Louis was FREAKIN COLD (for lack of a better word). If you look closely, you can see some ice and snow on the ground as well as our lips getting froze together like a scene from “Dumb and Dumber”. Either way, […]
